Jesus Died a Human Being - Raised a Spirit Being

I have added the following to the study:
Jesus Died a Human Being - Raised a Spirit Being

One has claimed for us the only division possible is that into spirit and flesh. Luke 24:35-43 was given and it was stated: "Indeed, people of flesh and bone can't appear just like that." (Luke 24:35-37) We were asked, however: "if Jesus said Himself that he had flesh and bones, why do you try to deny that?" (Luke 24:38,39) And finally and the claim was made that "the resurrected Jesus was beyond that division into material and spiritual."

We do not deny that Jesus, in his appearances in the locked room, had a body of flesh and bones.

However, the apostle Paul, in speaking of bodily glories, never crossed a spiritual body with and earthly body. Either one has the glory of a spiritual, heavenly, celestial body, or one has the glory of a physical, earthly body. One does not have both at the same time. See our study:
With What Kind of Body Are We Raised?

Jesus, having been raised in the spirit, no longer had the glory of a man, a glory that is a little lower than the angels. He is not now a hybrid of both a spiritual body, greater than man, and a physical, earthly, body, lower than the angels.

Nevertheless, after being raised from the dead, Jesus certainly could and did raise up his former body, especially for the miraculous appearances in the closed/locked room. He did so to prove that he was not a spirit as they thought him to be, that is, a phantom "ghost".
